Authorship of a paper
The following guidelines must be followed in giving sequence and credit in paper submission:
- Authorship, and its sequence in case of more than one author, must be based on the quantum of the contributions made in terms of ideas, conceptualisation, actual writing of the paper and analysis. Authorship and its sequence should not be based on the status of the individual in the institution or elsewhere.
- All other individuals not satisfying the criteria for authorship but whose contribution made the conduct and completion of the paper or publication possible must be appropriately acknowledged.
- A student or intern must be listed as the principal or first author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation, thesis, or other work.
- Appropriate credit must be given where data or information from other studies or publications is quoted or otherwise included.
